Let's talk about Chris Osgood, the goalie for the Detroit Red Wings.  He is among the best right now in Goals Against Average (GAA) and save percentage.  The Red Wings are leading the National Hockey League in points.  Chris Osgood is better than his 1998 Stanley Cup Champion year. Yet, there has been some critics that have maintained that Osgood is simply not good enough.  Knowing enough to keep personal opinion out, this will suffice, other teams are wishing Osgood was not with the Detroit Red Wings team.

  The confidence of the Detroit Red Wings in Chris Osgood is not misplaced.  Henrik Zetterberg who is among the league leaders in points and goals knows Osgood is playing the best in his career right now.  Zetterberg is one of the leaders on this team.  New Red Wings defenseman Brian Rafalski saw  Martin Brodeur and New Jersey win. 

  The Detroit fans who have seen Osgood in 1998 and in 2007 will echo the confidence in Osgood as the team leadership has done.  Quite a few NHL "insiders" will point out that having the Detroit crowd behind the goalie is hard to achieve.  Everyone young and old knows that Terry Sawchuk is best goalie in Detroit history.  Yes, the crowd in "The Joe" expects the same from goalies now. 

  The achievements of Chris Osgood now has been the heart of a team player, playing the best hockey of his life right now, gaining the confidence of team leadership young and veteran, and the fans who have been chanting "OZZIE" for the last six weeks.  Believe it!  Ozzie for president!  There that is personal as I will get.  Have to admit Osgood has been more consistent that what American voters have right now. 

  Politics in general is not like sport.  But is not what the voters expect from the presidential candidates what fans in Detroit expect from the goalie?

  Be your best and work the hardest.  Chris Osgood has gained that reputation so maybe he should consider running for president.
